I thought you were the one who jumped all over me for liking Korn's version of ABitW? Must have you confused with someone else...

Manson - Sweet Dreams
Orgy - Blue Monday
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Dynamite Hack - Boyz n the Hood
<some melodic chick> - Straight outta Compton

That was probably me. I just hate Korn's version so much, I can barely contain myself.

I still think the original of Turn the Page is better as well. And I don't care for their version of Whiskey in the Jar as much as some others. The Alfred Hitchcock theme from Binge and Purge was sweet, though.

They do have some good ones though. their remake of Die, Die, Die my darling is better than the orginal, IMHO. I haven't heard the orginal of Whiskey in the Jar, and I don't like the orginal turn the page quite as much...
